Observation of van der Waals Driven Self-Assembly of MoSI Nanowires into a Low-Symmetry Structure Using Aberration-Corrected Electron Microscopy

The packing structure of bundled MoSI nanowires is investigated. Scanning and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy are used to determine both the nanowire structure and bundle superstructure. Shown is a high‐resolution microscopy image of a small bundle. The image width is 8 nm. It is fo...

Description
Summary:The packing structure of bundled MoSI nanowires is investigated. Scanning and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy are used to determine both the nanowire structure and bundle superstructure. Shown is a high‐resolution microscopy image of a small bundle. The image width is 8 nm. It is found that the nanowires pack in crystalline bundles defined by the P1$ \bar 1 $ (#2) spacegroup.
